American Heritage Attractions

Scores of original buildings, hundreds
of homes, shops, and public buildings
are reconstructed over 301 acres - most
on their original foundations. Rare
animal
breeds, trades, and gardens add layers
of authenticity to the recreated town.
Walk the soil and the paths where the
giants of American History met, discussed,
and argued their way in history! Enjoy
fine meals in the very same taverns
where the likes of Washington and Franklin
planned our future. You’ll even have
a chance to meet them face to face during
your meal, as the staff are all dressed
in period costumes, and marvel at the
wonderful actors portraying our American
heroes. Don’t miss a Fife and Drum parade,
a
ride
in a beautiful carriage, or a visit
to the blacksmith, the exterior kitchens,
and watch the making of iron tools and
trinkets, as well as candles and bread.

Alongside the giants of American
history, meet preachers, servants, farmers,
and craftsmen and hear their stories.
Don't just walk the same streets as
Thomas Jefferson, George Washington,
and Patrick Henry— walk alongside them.
Costumed interpreters undertake years
of study to render the founding fathers
in first person every day. See them
in Revolutionary City's street-theater
scenes, or ask your questions during
"Conversation With a Founding Father"
programs. Meet people who lived in the
shadows of America's historical giants,
whose faces you won't find on coins
or bills. The everyday people you'll
encounter in the Historic Area made
contributions as momentous as the founding
fathers'. Without money, title, property
or power, many remarkable individuals
influenced the course of America's experiment
in self-governance. Meet these preachers,
servants, farmers, and craftsmen and
hear their stories.

Discover

Visit the farm and the stable where
hoofs and horns have as large a role
in making the Historic Area authentic
as human hands. The Rare Breeds Program
populates Williamsburg's pastures and
pens with animals that would have been
here 200 years ago: the sheep, cows,
horses, oxen, chickens and fowls that
scratched the dirt and loped the lanes.
Plants and blooms authentically native
to Virginia in the 18th century unfurl
with the seasons in Historic Area gardens.
Take a walking tour of gardens both
decorative and functional, or stroll
at your own pace to see what's blooming.

And There Is So Much More. Visit the
Colonial Williamsburg website: www.cw.org
